The Devil Made Me Do It (1998) dives into the gritty underbelly of addiction through the troubled lens of Misha Faybisovich. The film’s unsettling atmosphere is punctuated by vivid nightmare sequences, where demons taunt him with the very drugs that enslave him. It’s not just about the drug culture of the '70s; it showcases a raw, unfiltered look at desperation. Gene Milman's performance as the anxious, beleaguered protagonist stands out in this exploitation film that merges horror with stark realism. The practical effects, though low-budget, add a certain charm, with the goon elements keeping you on edge. The pacing is erratic but fitting, echoing the chaos of Misha's mind, making it a unique piece in the late '90s indie horror scene.
This film is somewhat of a hidden gem in the exploitation genre, often overlooked due to its obscure release and the lack of information about its director. It’s relatively scarce on physical media, making it a point of interest for collectors who appreciate underground cinema. While not widely available, those who do find a copy appreciate its rawness and the authentic vibe of the 70s drug culture it portrays.
